Hajnáčka (earlier Hajnacžka; German: (rare) Hajnatschko; Hungarian: (H)ajnácskő) is a village and municipality in the Rimavská Sobota District of the Banská Bystrica Region of southern Slovakia.

[edit] History

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1245 as Danuskue (1255 Kues, 1344 Anyaskw; the name comes from Slavic "Hajnáč") when a big castle was standing here. It was always the seat of important feudal lords. In 1545 it was besieged by Turks.
